Come, work for Jesus while ‘tis day,
And help the wanderer home,
To flee from every sinful way
And to the Saviour come.
The poor, the blind, the sick, the sad,
Give them a helping hand,
And those that have not known His love
Help them to join His band.
To work for Jesus we may have
A heavy cross to bear,
But then, if we stand firm all through
We shall His glory share.
Then help us, Lord, to bear our cross,
However hard it be,
Until we reach fair Canaan’s land
And Thy blest face we see.
